Hi All/Gary
Having myself been ripped off about this I will venture a little bit
of humour.
As to the size of the nukes needed it will depend largely on finance.
Wealthy investors (eg US, etc) tend to go for larger ones, but this
depends largely on the delivery system and the sites where they will
be placed.
Smaller powers, such as India and South Africa on the other hand
tended to opt for slightly smaller models, mainly for placement
within a regional level.
On the other hand most countries tend to stick to a standard nuc size
of about 4 to five frames, with a good bit of head space so the hives
don't everheat as small boxes can do. If it was not for Hiroshima and
Nagasaki I am sure these nucs would have killed more people than the
other type as well!
Keep well
